About the Trail

Climbing up Man vs Machine and descending down Blue Panther made us check the date on our phones. What decade was this? Both light touch natural trails with heaps of interesting features to keep you busy.

Yes you have to pedal. No catch berms to push you around corners. It gets a little rowdy towards the bottom with the odd jump. Perfect!!!

This is one of the trails in the Lake Leschenaultia MTB Network.
